I have pallet racking in my workshop to store motorcycles and use a 4 post lift to get them up into the racking. It is super simple to do and safe. Although most of the photos from the thread are gone, here's what I posted about the workshop build and shop setup in 2012...

Not a fancy trailer setup, but the only motorcycle hauling trailer I've ever seen set up to allow both Condor roll in chocks and Pit Bull TRS to be mounted in a variety of positions to allow a wide variety of motorcycles to be hauled safely and efficiently.

Just posted this video.

Cut up ladder, with sections pinned together with pvc pieces through the rungs. I usually store a bike with a centerstand perpendicular to the lift in front of a car on the lift. The only thing I do to make sure the bike is stable is reinforce the ply the centerstand sits on and put...

Re: 24'x48' Motorcycle Workshop - Orono, MN Batting for the walls R-10, blown insulation in the attic R-44.

Video comparison of Condor motorcycle dolly to Harbor Freight sidestand dolly made to be upright.

Insulate the ceiling/roof. Exposure and pitch are also factors. Low pitch, north facing is more prone. If you get ice dams, they are easy to address. Ice melt in a stocking laid at regular intervals across the dams will melt channels which will prevent water from building up behind the dams...

Assuming the existing garage door faces the rear of the lot, this is a bad idea. The new bulding placement creates a pinch point for access and pretty much guarantees it is going to be difficult to access both garages as the new garage you're thinking of gets rid of the swing space necessary to...

You're requirements for heat are modest at 45-50F and your use of AC is likely to be modest. My 24x48x14 workshop is only getting to 77F with the 90F+ outdoor temps we've been getting without even running the AC. This is without working in the shop or going in and out and the ceiling height...

Allot of stuff to do. Putting a building up to live in while you build a house is a pretty ambitous approach. Assuming this is a bare lot without utilities, I consider buying a travel trailer, putting up a utility pole, putting in a septic system, digging a well or making the connects to city...

A high end 7.1 receiver should be capable of doing this with reasonablly efficient speakers and ..... some really good powered subwoofers. The biggest issue with achieveing these kinds of sound levels in this much space is bass. Low frequencies take allot of power to move enough air to generate...

Whether you can remove both wheels depends on a number of different things. I've got several Harbor Freight tables and several Handy tables. The length of the bike, length of the table, whether the table has a drop out panel, type of wheel chock used, method of lifting the wheels off the table...

Are you looking to daily park in the garage (in and out daily with cars) in the winter or store vehicles and work in it?
